A method to design a manufacturing control system considering flexible reconfiguration

The manufacturing control system must immediately react to a variation in product, process specification, fault occurrence, changes in the resources functional capabilities, and other operational factors. Besides, to gain competitive advantage, distributed productive systems must work in cooperation with each other. To effectively integrate these heterogeneous envi-ronments, this paper proposes a method to combine holonic control system, service-oriented architecture and Petri net (PN) techniques. The PN models represent the workflow of the design method itself, the structure and the dynamic of the control system. To demonstrate the advantages of the proposal, an application example of the manufacturing system is described.
